    Dr. Hoffman was great about helping me find a treatment option for PCOS. I am relieved to have a plan as I move forward after surgery.

    I've been trying to get help for my endometriosis for YEARS (I've had severe pain and stomach issues since I've been an adolescent.) Dr. Hoffman is the first doctor to even offer a laparoscopy for accurate diagnosis and treatment. I appreciate it very much to have this opportunity. I am a mental health therapist with a Masters of Education. In the past, I was not listened to and told it was anxiety related most of the time. Dr. Hoffman never treated me like I'm being a neurotic woman. That's so rare. It should be the standard, but it's rare sadly. I've nothing but good things to say about him.

    Dr. Mark Hoffman is the best in the business and lucky to have him as my doctor. He's changed my life under his care. I went from having no quality of life due to so many issues now to a full healthy and happy lifestyle. I feel like the old me or a new and improved person, thanks to Dr. Hoffman.

      Dismissive of pain and overall well-being, made it a point to constantly point out that the patient was obese, other providers never do that, as I'm clearly aware of it.

      Dr Hoffman was incredible. He explained endo in detail and provided me different choices. He was patient and I did not feel hurried. He spent a lot of time and made sure all my questions were answered. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with endometriosis.

      First time seeing this provider - my normal one is on leave. He was very dismissive of my concerns and didn't even touch me - he sat across the room from me. I wasn't due for a pap, but he didn't do a pelvic or breast exam.

      Provider continued to mumble and talk softly after I explained that I was having trouble hearing. He neglected to tell me the side effects of the medication he prescribed even when I asked. I suffered for 2 weeks.
